Italian Plums in Syrup

Remember that I got plums as a gift?I always get really excited when I see Italian plums for the first time of the season at outdoor markets. They are in a very close battle for my favorite with the Pluot plum (a bit harder to find here)

I wanted to do something different.I normally would have snacked on these at my desk at work. Hunched over my computer. Stressing out and rewarding myself with food.But no, they were worthy of more.

Can you believe the gorgeous color of this syrup?These plums, when ripe, are a dark blue color. The syrup was a beautiful red/magenta.We ate them as dessert. Watching a TEDtalk about empathy.Thank you Shari.

This blog started out as a diary of what we ate at home on a daily basis. I cook everything from scratch, so it was nice to have a journal, a collection of all our recipes. In November 2010 opened Edgar, our tiny café.
